Hello,
I have held some very nice original Para Helmet's in my hand and have a fair idea what's original now i hope.I don't own one because i am not rich enough

I am going to go for original on this one as everything look's 100% correct to me.The shape is right and finish look's almost relic condition probably because of poor storage (maybe found in a barn?). I don't know about the expert's out there but i would offer any number of my item's for a Helmet as nice as that one

The only thing i would add to this is it may have had the cammo paint cleaned away from the eagle as the green is coming through in a wide area around it.Still it would'nt make a lick of differance to me.Not an expert when it come's to the eagle detail's so hope another member can help there but the lid itself look's correct

Thank you very much Tom! So after watching helmet in hand I see that for 100% sure , eagle was not under Camo ,to me it looks more like yellow SWIRL on green background!About eagle well i have few ET LW helmets with eagle and i can not find any differences ( shadows on the wings, legs, head) ,for me look identical but any help and opinion of experts are very welcome!

Hi Tihomir, I have studied this helmet for ages. I cannot make up my mind about it. I had a friend of mine and FJ specialist take a look and he is also a little undecided too. It is not a "one looker".

Sorry, this is not very helpful. I don't usually comment on items unless I am sure about them 100% in my own mind.

I do own an original FJ helmet myself which is a size 68 shell, single decal with early spanner bolts.

Cheers, Ade.
